Tracking TODOs

When user mentions TODO, add-todo, or asks to view/retrieve TODOs:

Retrieve/View TODOs

When user asks to see TODOs:

• "Show me my TODOs"
• "What's on my TODO list?"
• "List my pending tasks"
• "Check {ProjectName} TODOs"

Actions:

1. List available TODO files:

   ls ~/Desktop/TODO/*.md
   

2. For specific project:

   cat ~/Desktop/TODO/{ProjectName}TODO.md
   

3. For all TODOs (summary):

   grep -h "^-" ~/Desktop/TODO/*.md | sort | uniq
   

4. Search TODOs by keyword:

   grep -r "keyword" ~/Desktop/TODO/
   

Present TODOs clearly:

• Group by project
• Show category headers
• Highlight urgent/important items
• Count total pending items

Add/Update TODOs

When user mentions adding a TODO:

Analyze Context

• Identify task/issue/feature to track
• Identify project (e.g., Nabokov, A2A_Confucius)
• Determine category:
  • New Features - New functionality
  • UI Improvements - Interface enhancements
  • Prompt Engineering Improvements - LLM/AI improvements
  • Bug Fixes - Issues to fix
  • Research - Investigation tasks

Check Files

• List files in ~/Desktop/TODO/
• Naming: {ProjectName}TODO.md (e.g., NabokovTODO.md)
• Add to existing file or create new file

Format

• Use bullet points with -
• Be specific and actionable
• Include relevant context

Add/Update

Existing file:

• Read file first
• Find category section
• Append bullet under category

New file:

• Start with category header (# New Features)
• Add TODO as bullet point

Example

# New Features
- Implement feature X that does Y

# UI Improvements
- Fix layout issue with component A
